There is this site that has some files available for download. http://ginga.lavid.ufpb.br/projects/openginga/files
For testing use user:bugmenot password:please I am trying to automatize the download of one of the files via wget. I' m using keep-session cookies along with --load-cookies and --save-cookies before each request, yet what I'm getting back is always the log-in form. I think if you look at the source (log-in form) there' s a "session token" there, apparently handled via Javascript. Just to make sure the web server is not discriminating against wget, I also used --user-agent matching that of Firefox 13 for Linux. Here' s my script, and you'll see quickly that it doesn't work:. ///// #!/bin/bash # User-agent: for FF13 is "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0" # # get the log-in screen wget --unlink --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0" --load-cookies=cookies.txt --save-cookies=cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --http-user=bugmenot -http-passwd=please http://ginga.lavid.ufpb.br/login?back_url=http%3A%2F%2Fginga.lavid.ufpb.br%2Fprojects%2Fopenginga%2Ffiles # # post user and password wget --unlink --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0" --load-cookies=cookies.txt --save-cookies=cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --http-user=bugmenot -http-passwd=please --http-post "http://ginga.lavid.ufpb.br/login?back_url=http%3A%2F%2Fginga.lavid.ufpb.br%2Fprojects%2Fopenginga%2Ffiles"; --post-date="username=bugmenot&password=please" --referer="http://ginga.lavid.ufpb.br/login?back_url=http%3A%2F%2Fginga.lavid.ufpb.br%2Fprojects%2Fopenginga%2Ffiles"; # # now I should have the log-in credentials, get the files list (just in case) # wget --unlink --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0" --load-cookies=cookies.txt --save-cookies=cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --http-user=bugmenot -http-passwd=please "http://ginga.lavid.ufpb.br/projects/openginga/files"; # # now get the file I want # wget --unlink --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0" -c --load-cookies=cookies.txt --save-cookies=cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies "http://ginga.lavid.ufpb.br/attachments/download/475/deps-openginga-source-v0.4.3.tar.gz"; --output-document=deps-openginga-source-v0.4.3.tar.gz //// Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
